I’d been looking high and low for a simple, minimalist social sharing plugin and finally found it in Social Sharing by Danny! Unlike the vast majority of the other social sharing plugins out there, Danny’s frees you of the unwanted bells and & whistles that just needlessly suck up resources and complicate things.
This plugin is reliable, flexible, beautiful, and super-easy to implement. Best of all, the developer, Danny, is incredibly responsive and receptive to new ideas. In fact, I recently suggested a new feature and boom – literally within hours Danny had it integrated into the plugin and working perfectly.
Thank you Danny!
